UNSCRUPULOUS MEN

Strange indeed is the complete physical resemblance of the unscrupulous to the human species. It is the best example of mimesis we know of.

Oppaari, mimesis is close external resemblance of one animal species to another though of an entirely different nature amounting almost to mockery.

Blessed indeed are the unscrupulous, for they do not suffer from the anxieties and troubles of those who have scruples.

The unscrupulous resemble the gods, for, like gods, they do what they please and are bound by no restraints of conduct.

These three couple's illustrate Tiru-Valluvar's irony.

Fear of punishment is the only code for unscrupulous men. They observe restraints only under the pressure of fear. Sometimes a little good may be got out of them by operating on their greed.
